Scout report

Key starterFull-back

J. Rodon is a 28-year-old full-back at Leeds, rated 66.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 229th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (93.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.68 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Rodon.

Judged on this season alone, Rodon graded 33 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 7 clean sheets and 2.677 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 70 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 43rd of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 28 Rodon is in his prime years, and a market index of 48 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Rodon missed 3 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 35 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (14th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 93.9% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 93.2/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 66.6, Rodon carries the 43rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Leeds finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.68 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
